How do I choose the right summer program for me?

Start with your interests! What do you enjoy learning about? What kind of activities get you excited? Choose a program that aligns with your goals—or helps you explore new ones. For example, if you’re into writing, try a creative writing workshop. Love science? Look for a hands-on STEM program. Also, think about your learning style. Would you rather attend something online, close to home, or on a college campus? Do you want a short, chill experience or an intense deep dive? There’s no “right” choice for everyone—it’s about what fits you. A well-chosen summer experience can help you grow, find new passions, and even figure out what you want to study in college.
